Inclusive Excellence Awards

The Council on Inclusive Excellence established two awards in 2008 to honor students, faculty, staff, campus organizations and departments that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to enhancing Santa Clara University's multicultural community. A total of four awards may be given annually. Please visit the SCU diversity Web site for more information about the Council and other campus diversity initiatives.
